I am using pGina for authing, correct. But when I map drive shares, I'll need some kind of authing mechanism.
My desire was this; Since I already auth the user during there pGina login to Windows, I did not want to auth again for drive mapping to a Samba server. But... since this SSO doesn't carry through to Samba as the Samba file server does not know who this person is requesting a drive map, they will need to input credentials. What I would really LOVE is this; Since authing has already been taking care of during log in, to be able to map a drive as that user w/o needing the input a password. This way whatever they touch on the server will maintain there UID/GID or UGO rather. This in effect will make Samba act as NFS in a way with regards to security (who are you and what are you allowed to do). - aurf On May 25, 2012, at 9:44 AM, Gaiseric Vandal wrote: > pbdedit will export the "Windows" password from the "SambaNTPassword" > field (won't it?) > > My understanding was the pGina was using the unix password in the > "userPassword" field?
